8. The Chameleon

The Indianapolis Times has dipped its pen in the poison ink brewed by the amalgamated enemies of America. The Times has now begun to spew Its anti-Protestant venom among the Hoosiers as its guiding hand draws It into the ranks of those alien interests banded together to defeat the lofty purposes of the founders of America. And in so doing The Times has shown itself a most unreliable newspaper. If The Times believes what it days when it slanders the more than one-half million Protestant Hoosiers within the Klan, why has The Times waited so long to do it? Errors of omission are sometimes as cowardly and unforgivable as errors of commission. If the Klan is what The Times now attempts to paint it, why has The, Times delayed in warning the residents of Indianapolis and Indiana? Why did The Indianapolis Times, while attacking both old parties, wait until Robert LaFollette denounced the Klan after he met with Al Smith and while Scripps newspaper men (and the Scripps interests own The Indianapolis Times) waited to carry his "denunciation" to the world? Why did The Indianapolis Times wait to attack the Klan until the approach of an election in which the forces controlled from beyond the Atlantic ocean are ready to make every effort to rend control of America from those with American ideals? The Indianapolis Times now says the "Klan is crumbling." Of course that stereotyped phrase has been in U3e for the past two or three year3, but if The Indianapolis Times doesn't believe it, The Indianapolis Times lied. If that paper does believe it, it has shown that cowardice alone kept it from saying so before now. It did not have the courage to go before its thousands of Protestant readers, staunch Hoosier Americans, and deride their organization even though it believed the Klan detrimental to the

interests oi America, it would indeed lie interesting to know just why The Indianapolis Times changed its front immediately after its owners played such a prominent part in the events immediately preceding the denunciation of the Klan by LaFollette, who has been charged with hooking up with disgruntled Al Smith, Rome's defeated candidate for president. Possibly The Times has essayed to play the part of the standard bearer for those political schemers who have denounced and slandered the Protestants of this state. It is without doubt better standard bearers would b- appreciated by the aliens, but possibly the aliens figure that The Times is better than nothing. The owners of the paper, who have no interest in Indianapolis other than getting dividends from The Times, which in turn Ik supported by those "fanners of bigotry, hatred and intolerance," which The Times seems to have only recently learned about, care not a whit whether the columns of The Times reflects the sentiment of Hoosiers Just so long as Hoosiers continue to pour their money into the coffers of The Indianapolis Times. Millions of persons in the United States are convinced that alien influences, or, to be exact, the Roman hierarchy, has sought out LaFollette to carry its banner in the coming election, and all indications point that way. The Times has consistently thrown mud at the Democratic and Republican parties and in one editorial says: "No, your party is run by professional politicians, the men who make slated, run conventions and pull strings to say nothing of lobbying -who are actually on the payroll of campaign contributors the whole year round." The men who are elected, according to The Indianapolis Times, that paper with the attributes of the chameleon, then continue the grafting of their predecessors. Despite the fact that these candidates are not painted what could be called white by The Chameleon of Indiana neNvspaperdom, it takes evident pride in pointing to these men as having "denounced" the Klan. Just what consistency is displayed there" Of course, if The Times wishes to place itself in the ranks of such according to its theory nothing should be done to stop it. The insignificant littl tact that the Klan is wholly a Protestant organization and, according u Jjck Walton, one of The Times tin gods, 95 per cent of the Protestant tolnmters belong to it, doesn't mean a thing to the owners of The Times :t is evident that they are out to aid those forces which would make a man president who would owe his election to the alien Influences of America. The owners of The Times have cracked the whip. And The Times of Indianapolis has dutifully through force hopped the barfS wagon of the combined forces which would rip asunder the greatest Protestant organization the world has ever kno-.vn.

A Wealth of Meaning Within the past few days there appeared a headline in one of the leading newspapers which read, "Hairy K. Thaw Joins Church in Comeback Fight." What a world of meaningls contained in those few words! Harry Thaw, and after years spent behind iron bars, has turned to the church as a means of "staging a comeback." Harry K. Thaw, murderer and sower of "wild oats," now seeks spiritual guidance. Wha a wealth of meaning underlies the words which tell to the world that Harry K. Thaw, with wealth at his disposal and every material means at his command to bring him happiness, finds there is still something lacking to aid him in his "comeback." Harry K. Thaw now turns to God by joining church. That solace which he no doubt wishes, he has not found; money did not bring it to him. Peculiar as it may seem, right at the time the news of Thaw's decision to join church came over the press wires, a murder trial, similar in many resr ects to that of Thaw's almost twenty years ago, was in progress in Chicago. Huge sums of money were being spent in the Chicago trial as the.e was in Thaw's trlal. High-priced alienists were being employed to "prove" that the murderers were not responsible for their crime. Both trials were sensational and world-wide publicity was given them. In the Chicago trial the two defendants made light of the moral laws and one of them, at least, declared his disbelief in God. This defendant was declaring his disbelief in God right at a time when a man who, twenty years before, had been tried on the same charge at trial peculiarly similar, was turning to God to find solace. A wonderful lesson is contained In this group of circumstances. There Is little doubt but that it would-accomplish a world of good if it could but be put before each citizen of this country in a most forceful manner. Disrespect for the moral laws can lead to but one end disappointment, suffering and destruction. There is no escape, and while there is a certain mount of sympathy for those who wilfully bring suffering upon themelTes. the saddest part of it is the sorrow their acta bring to others

Sparks from the Fiery Cross

y JOHN EIGHT POINT "The noblest motive is the public good. Virgil

The Klansman's Bible Is old enough to stand alone. A KLAASMAIS'S FAITH WILL LIFT THE FOG OF THE FUTURE WITHOUT A FOG HORN. The pious whine was invented in the church but Martin Luther wasn't the inventor. The TOOd Klansman fnllnwa fha L. Idea of the Batirlst, Boileau, and cans nothing by name if that is not its name. Thus he calls a cat a cat and Al Smith a rogue without the slightest feeling of impropriety. Most Klansmen can cho the words of Artemus Ward, "I am not a politician, and my other habits 'air' good," without stretching the point. It would be better, however, if we should devote more time to a study of politics as affecting the individual. It does not help things to pass oft politics as a study to be regarded with contempt merely because there are so many contemptible people working at it. We are told that under the new act the Immigration of Orientals from Hawaii into the United States wili not be affected. Strictly speaking, that ruling may be correct In principle since Hawaii belongs to the United States. But all Orientals should be riirldlv hrirf tion no matter to what portion of the uouiury nicy are transported. An alien always needs watching an Oriental foreigner most of all. rMilitant Mr. Mayor Mayor Schwah. of Ptnffni "supreme general" of the Catholic order of the Knights of St John, calls upon his myrmidons -to "strengthen their military organization for their fight agajnst the Klan." He says, "What can you do if you are attacked?" He should say, "What can you do when you want somebody to attack you?" There is as much sincerity in Schwab as there is in a tomcat hunting tripe. When a public official, without regard for those he represents as a whole, void" of political honesty and mad with fanatical fervor, starts a fuss he will find plenty of yellow curs to help him. Witness that the so-called mayor has a chip on his shoulder; witness, too, that the Klan cares nothing for him nor for his precious, godlike organization. It merely notes that the country carelessly goes on putting gentlemen of that type into civic offices, permitting them to spew out their spite to all who are forced to be in earshot. "' DEVALERA IS UP AND AT THEM AGAIN. HE IS HELLBENT TO DELIVER THE SPEECH THAT WAS INTER'The Bible Age' Some one has said that we "live in a Bible age, in which the Word is welcomed and read more widely than at any time in the past." That statement is largely true in the sense that each year shows an increase in Bible output and in the fact that the Book of Books is finding its way more readily than in former times into the heart of the remotest peoples of the earth. But in our own land there are both political and religious barriers which must be broken down before we can truthfully say that this is a "Bible age." It is true that an effort, thanks to Klan initiative, is being made to break down the walls that have been built by unbelief and hapless prejudice. The reform has been brought about in many states. The Scriptures are again read daily in hundreds of schools, and all sectarian comments are barred. In other states, however, the same old obstacles, bred by hate or lazy indifference, have yet to be removed. The Bible is not used as a part of the daily exercises in the schools. And there appears to be no immediate effort made to mitigate this offense against the right of American children to receive unbiased religious education and training. California's Fight In counting up the gains made by the concerted attempt to restore the Bible to America, one can but commend the hopeful action taken in California. The citizens there, in the state that now ranks third in education, have been engaged in a noble fight for Bible freedom in the schools. A new and special campaign for this freedom in all state-supported schools is now proceeding satisfactorily. Petitions are being widely circulated for the purpose of inserting into the November ballot a measure "to put the Bible in the public schools for daily class readings by teachers and pupils." The measure also directs that a sufficient supply of Bibles for this purpose be purchased with public school funds. School libraries, too, are provided for in the same general plan, so that no student need ever be without the Word of God in his daily readings. It is understood that a recent supreme court decision has afforded both the base to work from and the needed impetus for the battle. This decision held that the classic King James translation could not be construed as sectarian, and therefore, that it could be placed fn all libraries and classrooms without objection. A Rightful Inheritance When one reflects upon the thought that the greatest minds in all American history have been, inspired and molded by study of the Bible when

THE FIBiUf CROSS

RUPTED WHEN H H WAS LOCKED UP LAST IN AUGUSTf " 192?. AMERICA WOULD DO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THE DEVALERAS AND THEIR RUBEFACIENT MOUTHINGS. An Ancient Evil If you do not believe that ancient evils have a way of dying slowly, read the papers with eyes wide open. The British government has lately dispatched a fleet of fast destroyers to co-operate with French and Italian navies In curbing the slave-trading shows that ply between Africa and Arabia! Slaves bought and sold and smuggled? Certainly. The Arab show-pirates make good money in this soul-killing game. Ano? do not fancy for a moment that the Regent of Abyssinia was doing anything but making a "magnificent gesture" to his western hosts before bis visit to Europe when he issued an edict forbidding the "Bale or purchase of slaves" in ais benighted country. He did not "emancipate existing slaves' because, as his proclamation put it, if they were liberated at once they might "become thieves and bandits, and disturb the public order." Waiving the fact that "order" is a lost word in the Abyssinian dictionary, one can but wonder at the temerity of tho old goat who undoubtedly hates slavery as a kitten does milk. Is it not a Joyous fact that a few of the ancient evils do not exist in America in this day When to be an American njirl whit. is mor.e useful to the world than to be the regent of Abyssinia or an Araoiaa piraie witn an inborn lust for wickedness? It Is a Elan principle that every poor man shall have as mueh rla-ht to his own as a prince or potentate. Kleaning Cities Klean Gen. Smedley D. Butler seems to have been too clean for PhilaoinViia Mayor Kendrick, harassed beyond an endurance by political bosses, cast aside his pledges of support and gave the grim old soldier the pink ticket. After all, why should one worry to keep clean it is so annoying to one's less fastidious friends? Washington may have its leading Gold Dust twin back. God created the earth in six days, but it will take the Caseys longer than that to destroy it. Kiankraft that isn't used every day will not keep sweet long. People who look for total depravHy. in- the Han never imagine,, that they can find it a lot closer home. : AN ELASTIC CONSCIENCE ENABLES A LOT OF PEOPLE TO STRETCH THEIR CONSCIENCE EVERY TIME THEY EXERCISE IT one recalls the that have been developed to the high est peaKs or spiritual as well as material attainment by Bible readingone is led to echo the opinion of the moralist, who recently said : "To deprive the youth of our nation of contact with the Bible at the time they need it most, is to bar them from their rightful inheritance, and to miss the opportunity of storing their minds with knowledge that makes for all that is worth while in character, conduct and mental and moral equipment." Things may not be "quite all right." This may not be wholly a "Bible age," but there is, after all, a drift in the desired direction, and Americans have the right eventually to hope with Browning that "God's in His heaven all's right with the world." Copying the World The old-time idea of the church in sticking to the, essentials and of making religion a spiritual aid rather than a place for social enjoyment is not held important by as many ministers as one would wish. Yet, occasionally, one finds the religious press striking the necessary nail on the head and recalling the church to its ancient altitude and "beneficent duty. The following editorial deserves to be read by all Klansmen because it is so pat and pertinent and because it will find its echo in so many loyal hearts. The Christian Herald says : "There are some churches, not many, but some, that are copying the world in their church programs. There are some ministers, not many, but some, for the most part earnest and enthusiastic young men, who think they must employ worldly methods in order to reach and hold young people and the men. They say, 'Young folks as a whole are dancing, and the church must provide a place for them. The crowd is used to being amuggd and entertained, and we must entertain our young people or we shall lose them. The men have programs of fun and Jaaay songs at their Rotary and Kiwanis and Lions and other downtown clubs, so the church must do the same. The masses are having Sunday evening theaters and are swarming into them. The church must imitate the world if-it is going to get the crowd.' Getting a Crowd "The ambition to get a crowd is laudable. No minister ought to prefer empty seats to a house, full. The necessity of copying, the world in order to get a house full is a nervous eagerness that mistakes the essential difference between the church

It is especially fitted for flappers who have tired of robbing filling stations and listening to dream stories told by twenty-year-old infants who play with teddy bears and bloody chisels. Also, it is a great help to tired mothers. The exercise: First secure a good strong broom. - On the count of one, place the broom to the right a little in advance. On the count of two let the broom rest on the floor. On the count of three, push energetically. On the count of four, return broom to original position.

Why Is Line Drawn 1 Just what is a Roman Catholic education? Their churches have been open all summer do not children of parents of the Roman Catholic faith receive a Catholic education in those churches? Just what is this education that must be separated from America's free public system of education? Evidently the Roman Catholic church does not supply it or else why the cry to go to Roman Catholic schools to get a Roman Catholic education? Isn't a plain, every-day, American education sufficient for children growing up in the Roman Catholic faith? Why Is the line drawn? Is the .Roman Catholic church's doctrine so weak that the priests alone, and the Roman Catholic church is not fitted to instill its beliefs into the hearts of the Roman Catholic children without the aid of "a Roman Catholic education"? These questions are not asked merely to fill space. They are asked seriously, even though there is no hope of receiving an answer. They will, however, serve to give the reader something to think about in trying to find an answer to them, and possibly convince the reader that it is the Roman Catholic, who draws the line between Roman Catholicism and Americanism not the "bigoted Protestant fanatic" whom the Roman Catholic publications would have one think. Some reader, in reading the first question in the paragraph immediately above might answer that the Roman Catholic church is strong enough to instill its beliefs into the hearts of Roman Catholic children without the aid of schools for the reason that most, if not all, Roman Catholic countries with one exception have virtually no schools, and the vast majority of each nation is illiterate. In pondering this phase, one must remember that in America the crass ignorance and unholy superstitions which hold converts in those countries, are not present in America, Therefore, a "Roman Catholic education" as we know 1o.mutiv euucauuu as we Know AdiiiMtlnn .1.4- - A tuui.ai.iuu ui una cuuuiry is iieces sary in America, to hold the sliphierarchy on its followers in theUnited States. Education With a Vensreance That the Roman hierarchy "educates" the faithful in those countries where no schools are located can not be doubted. Their education is a "Roman Catholic education" with a vengeance. Is the Roman Catholic education in America, of which the Roman" Catholic publications prate SO much, likened unto that r - so much, likened unto that in Europe: iyo better idea of a Roman Catholic education could be gleaned, possibly, than for one to give thought to a newspaper dispatch out of Philadelphia a few months ago.

Is not their teaching such as to make it possible for them to-' believe such rot? There are those including the editors of Roman Catholic publications who insist children" of Roman Catholics have "Catholic educations" who will say there are no sueh teachings; say it in the face of the fact that the superstitions -of Europeans who have the same faith as tills little girl, is common knowledge. Little Virginia Manus has a "Catholic education." She prays before images despite the fact that the Bible says in 1 John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." Possibly a Roman Catholic education teaches that the image of Santa Rosa of Lima is not an idol even though the Bible says, Psa. 97:7, "Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themse'vs of idols." This phase of the question, however, is one of belief, and the Roman Catholic has every right to believe as he so wishes. It should be remembered, however, that Roman Catholic education does not include the reading and studying of tho Bible by the pupiL What would little Virginia Manus, as she grows Into womanhood, think if on opening the Bible she should turn to Exodus 20:4, and read, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven ahnvo tt,ot in the earth, beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow- down thyself to them nor servethem"? While no one has the right in America, morally or legally, to say that all little Virginias can not believe it is right to pray to images, it does establish the fact that there is a difference in an American education and a "Catholic education," which all Roman. Catholic parents are beseeched to give to their children. Who draws the line between Americanism, and Roman Catholicism' Surely it fs those jwho, waen the public schools of Amertea are about to open, cry out to Roman Catholic parents, not to send their children, to these schools, but to send them to parochial schools where a "Catho . v, v&u uc secureo.- Ana. in VlpW nf thA frf , , lic eaucauon" can be serref. inri coxae lui veutunes upon centuries the masses have been ft any wonder that todar Roman Catholic publications are cryine out " xwmau uacnouc parents to give their children "Catholic educations"' The Nation's Need The nation needs statesmen who then toock lZl . vuicigeuty into a i auuva cocked hatYou can not treat tinnntn sity Hta old "maid 1 to a dancS class; you must get close oh5 her to be of somf actual aSlncZ The Klan, directing its saluS attentions toward broken things that need mending in national life Wea its efforts Is dtertSE knocking into cocked Hats tie n gencles that need that sort of "treat, ment, and, getting cIosQ. eWh to, popular necessity to offer whnWm wordsTtU K3an ;aln at the practical : In all of its relations tonrtlSM, low men.
